Studying the Performance of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) Models with Blade Control Mechanism

Some Design Features of the Carousel Type Wind Turbine Bidarrieus

“…Now the propeller-type wind turbines with installed capacity up to several megawatts are widely used. On the basis of many years of experience, the technology of creating a high-power WPU of a propeller-type wind turbine has been mastered [8,9]. But practice shows that the higher the capacity of wind farms, the wider the lifeless territory in these regions (birds, fauna, including the population, leave these places).…”

“…This problem can be solved by developing methods for improving existing wind turbines. A basic design of HBI-rotor and an operation principle of the Bidarrieus-2 wind turbine were discussed [6][7][8]. Let's consider some design features of this carousel type wind turbine.…”

About High Efficiency of Two-Rotor Wind Power Unit Bidarrieus-2

“…Now the propeller-type wind turbines with installed capacity up to several megawatts are widely used. On the basis of many years of experience, the technology of creating a high-power WPU of a propeller-type wind turbine has been mastered [3][4][5][6][7][8]. But practice shows that the higher the capacity of wind farms, the wider the lifeless territory in these regions (birds, fauna, including the population, leave these places).…”

“…This also applies to the operation of wind power unit (WPU), for which the efficiency of the unit is determined by the efficiency of wind energy that is named as a power coefficient. The higher the value of this coefficient, the more effective is the economic and commercial value of the WPU [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”
